Brands and products you miss, that went out of business or changed

77. Where do you live?

I'm not saying that American supermarkets are now filled with only healthy, fresh foods. There's still an incredible amount of crap.

But I see more and more people whose shopping carts are mostly devoid of it, and I see more and more attempts to stock the shelves with wider varieties of fresh produce. I shop at different markets. Some are garden variety mass chains (a Jewel two blocks from my house, where I mostly buy aluminum foil or staples like King Arthur flour or things of that order, though they do have organic fruits and vegetables; but I would never buy meat or fish there). Others are niche, like Whole Foods. The WF I shop at has a largely African American clientele, where people's carts are overflowing with swiss chard and fresh fish.

Maybe it's because I live in a big city, and one that has a lot of ethnicities and where foodie stuff is big. But I've noticed a big difference in people's food shopping choices since the days of the A&P in the 1950s.
